Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{LIST-I} & \text{Railway Zone} & \text{LIST-II} & \text{Headquarter} \\ \hline A. & \text{South East Central Railway} & I. & \text{Gorakhpur} \\ \hline B. & \text{South Central Railway} & II. & \text{Prayagraj} \\ \hline C. & \text{North Eastern Railway} & III. & \text{Bilaspur} \\ \hline D. & \text{North Central Railway} & IV. & \text{Secunderabad} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

• A. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
• C. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Important Railway Zone Headquarters: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{South East Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Bilaspur}, \text{South Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Secunderabad}, \text{North Eastern Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Gorakhpur}, \text{North Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Prayagraj}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “SECR--Bilaspur, SCR--Secunderabad, NER--Gorakhpur, NCR--Prayagraj.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Each railway zone in India has a designated headquarters responsible for its administration.

Step 1: Match each railway zone with its headquarters. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{South East Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Bilaspur}, \text{South Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Secunderabad}, \text{North Eastern Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Gorakhpur}, \text{North Central Railway} &\rightarrow \text{Prayagraj}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Convert into the given matching. \[ \boxed{ A\!-\!III,\; B\!-\!IV,\; C\!-\!I,\; D\!-\!II } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
